## Description

desertcart.com: (Old Model) WD My Passport Ultra 1TB Portable External USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Auto Backup, Red : Electronics

Review: GREAT Little Portable Drive - I did not download, nor use, the WD software that came with this drive. WD has a good reputation, and I suspect the SW provided would be worth using. But this drive was purchased for one function. This drive was recognized by the USB3 port on my desktop loaded with Windows 7 64 Bit. I bought this drive primarily to run periodic SYSTEM IMAGEs as a back-up to the software and files loaded on the internal Hard Drive. Unlike my other 1 TB WD external drive (not a My Passport version), it runs off the USB Power and does not require a separate power supply. Yeah! Windows 7 recognized the drive immediately and loaded the drivers. Works like a champ. And the USB 3.0 high speed transfer rate makes System Image backups lightning quick (compared to my other USB 2.0 external drives). I got the RED version because it was priced lower than the silver/black siblings on desertcart. Worth every cent spent. PS: I also used this drive on my HP Laptop as well using an USB 2.0 port for a back-up of my System Image (WIN 7). It ran using the USB 2 power without an issue, although the data transfer rate was considerably slower as expected.
Review: Perfect for what I need - I ordered this device for two reasons, I needed a TB backup to my systems TB desktop and my external hard drive. I'm a photographer and usually store a great deal of photos. Usually I need to travel from location to location and my photos are stored in RAW format which if you know RAW format takes up a great deal of space. So, transporting with DVDs or USB ports tend to be cumbersome. This passport drive is perfect, smaller than I expected, barely bigger than a sharpie marker. Security password, easily to install, operates smoothly. Drive updates on its own and can transfer to cloud or dropbox storage online. Very useful.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why is red more expensive**
A: My red was the cheapest at the time.

**Q: Is a usb to usb cable included in this package?**
A: I have a USB 2.0 for a mac book pro 2009. will this step down for this computer?

**Q: will this work with a mac ?**
A: It WILL work with a Mac so long as you DON'T follow THEIR instructions because all the patches and formatters you're told to download are outdated or just simply WON'T OPEN.You'll need to do the following on your Mac:1. Open "Applications"2. Open "Utilities"3. Open "Disk Utility"4. Select the HD you want to format on the left5. Click on the Erase tab6. Under "Format:" choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"7. Name the harddrive to whatever you want8. Click "Erase..."DONE!

**Q: Is this the same as the WD Elements Portable Hard Drive**
A: Reading the warranty info for all WD drives, I discover that the Passport Ultra carries a 3-year warranty while the WD Elements only rates 1 year of warranty. The WD My Book drives only get 2 years. The PP Ultra looks like the best deal to me even though it is a few more bucks than the Elements.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Drive - Be careful to follow instructions
*by R***E on April 9, 2014*

This is a nicely built and well designed external hard drive. However, the users manual is too complex and the software WD Software is difficult to follow - so be careful to review it carefully. It keeps track of your initial backup and updated file if you use the WD Smartware software in the correct way. I found that I was not scrolling down far enough on the WD Smartware Software screen and so I wasn't using the Backup options correctly. I found that my best bet was to backup only daily at a specific time and to then click on the clock icon at the bottom of the backup tab and choose "backup now". You don't have to do this, but I found it best for me to avoid confusion and also because I do casual backups from time-to-time and don't need continuous backups. It can be used on more that one PC/Laptop and keeps the files separately identified - that's another reason for me not doing a continuous backup option. It also only backups files that have been changed after your initial backup. Also to avoid confusion and problems - when plugged into a PC, it will often popup a message asking if you want to backup "using MS Windows backup" - "DON'T DO THIS" or it will just give you a fragmented backup that is hard to track. Use the "WD Smartware" only to do your backups and it will track your files and revision just fine.
